The objective of KAMINLER is the delivery of a specific Enterprise Europe Network service designed to enhance the innovation management capacity of SMEs in Lombardy and in Emilia-Romagna, by providing in-depth support in the areas where these services are absent or unaffordable on local markets.
EEN partners in the two regions delivered Key Account Management services to the beneficiaries of the SME Instrument, EIC Accelerator, FTI and FET-Open of Horizon 2020, dealing with coaching assignments and addressing specific innovation weaknesses and supported particularly promising SMEs to improve their capacity to manage innovation processes.
The main objective of the WP1was to provide support services to the beneficiaries of the SME Instrument, EIC Accelerator, FTI and FET-Open in order to identify bottlenecks to the creation of economic impact and address them with the help of capable coaches.
This main objective can be split in the following sub-targets:
• to identify weaknesses in the innovation management capacities and specific needs of the beneficiary to be addressed during the coaching process;
• to identify suitable coaches to address the identified weaknesses and moderating the coach-client relationship;
• to accompany the beneficiary through the SME instrument project, monitoring the coaching work and the project progress.
The main objective of the WP2 was to develop innovation and sustainability diagnostic audits of SMEs, in Emilia Romagna and Lombardy regions, selected according criteria recognising their already existing potential of innovation, in order to improve their innovation capacities allowing to manage effectively the innovation process. The service allowed beneficiaries to acquire awareness on their level of competitiveness and to evaluate measures for improving their Innovation Management performance and their sustainability. The final aim is, thanks a targeted consulting and the delivery of an action plan, to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of innovation management system and the sustainability of the SMEs beneficiaries of the services, ensuring them more growth opportunities.
